All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 21 The First Lesson in Winterhold

Linde formed his own club, or student society, by chance. He showed excellent abilities when he was at the College of Winterhold. As he introduced Muggle scientific theories, especially mathematical knowledge in World 1, into the study of magic, he became a master and had a strong reputation among the apprentices. gained great prestige.

During those days, he was immersed in the knowledge of various departments of magic and didn't care about other things.

Lind still remembers that his first class in Winterhold was the transformation department, taught by the mature and steady Master Tovdir.

Tolfdir is one of the greatest transmutation masters in all of Tamriel, and he is willing to share his knowledge. The college does not have a class schedule. Teachers and scholars usually organize lectures on their own, and interested members can come to attend the lectures.

For those freshmen who have potential but lack theoretical knowledge, the college will also arrange teachers to teach.

There are only nine freshmen in the academy, including Linde. Most of them are Bretons and elves. They are naturally sensitive to magic power, so they are very suitable mage seedlings.

Linde arrived early enough, and apart from him, there was only one dark elf woman in the Temple of Elements. She was standing in the spell testing area, practicing the destruction system on a magic dummy.

A thumb-sized fireball flew and landed on the dummy, creating an explosion flame with a diameter of one meter. The shock wave and heat were absorbed by the barrier when they reached the edge of the test area. Lind took a closer look and saw that the damage caused by these fireballs on the dummy was much weaker than expected. It could only break off the fingers, but could not tear the limbs apart, nor did it cause extensive burning.

"Hmm." He saw at least three problems with this spell at a glance, and sighed unconsciously.

The dark elf woman stopped casting spells and turned to glare at Linde. The skin of their race was dark purple, and their eyes were as red as blood. They looked extremely evil and uncomfortable. This was the result of being cursed by the devil. In fact, they were not addicted to evil spirits. A race that kills like hell also had a beautiful appearance before being cursed.

The dark elf in front of him had stubborn eyes, like two burning candles, and his tone was even more aggressive, "Do you have any opinions on my spells? Or are you just looking at my jokes?"

Linde's tone was gentle and his attitude was friendly, "Sorry, I'm here for class. Please don't mind me. But, if you don't mind, I have the detailed spell configuration of Fire Bomb here for your reference." He He took out a page from his notebook and handed it to the dark elf mage.

The dark elf woman showed a complicated expression, hesitated to speak, and when she reluctantly took the manuscript paper and looked at it, she immediately understood where the problem was. "Oh, that's it. I'm sorry, I was too harsh on you just now. Please forgive my impulsiveness."

Linde smiled and said, "Is it helpful to you?"

"Yes, it helps a lot, but actually I am better at the summoning system. So..."

"I understand. I understand. It just so happens that I am also interested in the theory of summoning system recently. If we have the opportunity, we can discuss it together."

The dark elf mage said coyly, "Forget it, I'm more used to researching alone." Then, she turned her head and fired the fireball at the magic doll again. This time, she made significant progress.

After a while, the students arrived one after another.

The lecturer Tovdir is an old man with gray hair and a goatee. He was very happy to see Linde, "A new member has joined us."

The others reacted lukewarmly, nodding towards Lind.

Tovdir's classes were as steady as himself, and were all theoretical, from an overview of magic to the basic subjects in front of the transformation department. Lind's progress lagged behind others, and there were some things he couldn't understand.

The mainstream magic of the "The Elder Scrolls" series follows natural philosophy, which is a process of summarizing laws through observation of the objective world, and then applying them.This is very different from the magic in the world of "Harry Potter".Or, more bluntly, treat the magic of The Elder Scrolls as science.

The school of transformation studies the manipulation of nature and its material properties. Master Tovdir used "Wood Armor" as an example to explain the prerequisite knowledge required to master this spell, from the observation of plant cells to structural mechanics. How to control magic power to form a defensive magic barrier on the body surface is inseparable from the understanding of wooden materials and the control of magic properties.

Linde listened with great interest. The magic of the Elder Scrolls world was actually very suitable to his taste. Natural philosophy was always more intuitive and easier to be grasped by people's intellectual thinking.

However, his classmates were very dissatisfied. Everyone was tired of theory, and they must try practice.

Tovdir could not defeat these rough and impatient students. Even though he repeatedly warned that magic is chaotic and dangerous energy, these students still boasted of their superior abilities and were not convinced.

Toftdir had no choice but to promise everyone and demonstrate the enchantment magic.

Barrier is a restorative spell that specializes in protecting against magic attacks. The mage is similar to a warrior when facing waves. He releases offensive spells with one hand and holds the barrier shield with the other hand. Using this spell for demonstrations can also minimize unexpected situations.

Tovdir looked at the taciturn Linde, "You didn't say a word just now, what did you think about the suggestions you made to your classmates?"

"Theoretical study is very important. I don't think rashly casting magic is something to brag about."

"Well, a very steady idea. Then you will help me demonstrate this spell."

Linde’s mage classmates whispered.

"No problem, but I don't know any enchantment skills."

Tovdil was also a little surprised, so he had to teach on the spot. Fortunately, Linde was not really ignorant. He had already studied the theoretical basis by himself for a period of time before class.

The mainstream magic of the Elder Scrolls series requires three elements. The first element is magical energy, which can be seen everywhere in this world, and there is nothing unusual about it. The second element is spell formation, which requires solid knowledge and precise calculations. The third element is the soul Energy, the essence of power contained in every living being.

The role of soul energy is to build spell models and absorb and transform magic energy, which is the core element in the process of casting spells.But the most difficult part is to build a spell model. This element is the essence of the magic system and the core indicator for considering the wisdom and ability of a mage.

The "Secondary Barrier Technique" taught by Tovdir on the spot is very simple. Among all novice-level spells, its spell configuration can be said to be simple and easy to understand.

The principle of secondary enchantment is to gather the surrounding magic energy into the spell model without conversion, and directly spray it out at a constant speed, forming a shield-shaped jet in front of the caster. The only difficulty with this spell is to control the speed of the magic jet. As long as the size of the nozzle is limited within the range, it will not fail.

Linde tried a little and succeeded immediately, almost learning it in the blink of an eye.

Toftil bombarded the barrier with weak fireballs, tiny ice arrows, and depleted electric currents, all of which were successfully defended by Linde.

"Excellent! An excellent demonstration. Everyone else, keep practicing enchantment."

Lind's talent has certainly caught everyone's attention. After class, many classmates became more enthusiastic and greeted him one after another, but most of them were limited to that. Apart from the dark elf mage, only a young Nord mage named Onmund introduced himself to him. He was also one of the students who encouraged Tovdir to demonstrate magic in the class just now.

"You are a Nord," Lind laughed. "You must be prejudiced to be a Nord mage, right?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. I can't convince my family. But I think it's all worth it."

"Of course it's worth it. But learning magic requires hard work and calm thinking. You were really impatient in class just now. I also want to hear more about the basic theories from Master Tovdir."

"This also gives you a chance to show off, doesn't it?" Onmond shrugged.

"Yeah, it made me famous." Linde said half-jokingly.They talked and laughed and went back to the dormitory together.

Since then, Linde has spent most of his time in the college library, where all the prerequisite knowledge he needs is available.With his efficiency, within half a month, he could master all the best books in Winterhold College since the Second Era.
